Pretty Pink Posh May Blog Hop!

Are you excited about the new Pretty Pink Posh release? Hopefully you're hopping with us today! There's so much to share and lots of samples from some of your favorite designers that we had to break the hop into two days! If you're hopping along with us you should have reached me from Ashley Marcu's blog. If you want to start at the beginning and get all the details you can do that here at the Pretty Pink Posh blog.

You're going to love the new stamps and dies! There are SIX new stamp sets with coordinating dies and three new die cut sets!

My card today features the new Bold Blooms stamp set. You're going to love all the beautiful flowers and different ways you can arrange them for so many different looks. Lots of the images are double stamped. If you love to color you can stamp just the outlines.

The "Friends Forever" sentiment is from the Woodland Critters stamp set. All the fonts in the new set are the beautiful mixed script and type that you know and love from Pretty Pink Posh.

I started my card by cutting a a fancy edge on a white card panel with a die from the new Scallop Borders Two set. I layered it over a yellow card stock panel with a stamped sentiment.

Next I adhered a floral arrangement on a Scallop Circle Tag. The tab at the top is the perfect place for a pretty bow. I embellished the flowers with some seed beads, sequins and droplets.

This adorable couple is from the new Happy Owls set! Aren't they sweet? The set has lots of accessories... little bows, a floral bouquet for the bride, and even a boutonniere for the groom.I created a small panel as a focal point for the owls with the Scallop Borders Two. I stamped the images with Memento ink and colored them with Copic markers. A gel pen was used to add freckles to their rosy cheeks.

Paulina is always adding the most beautiful accents to the store. She's got some new sequin colors (champagne anybody?) and blends (Spring Meadow and Nature), as well as Sparkling Clear Flowers and these white flower sequins from the new Hydrangea Flower Sequins Mix.

Here's today's hop order with a list of all the designers with projects to share today!

Jeanne, your first card is gorgeous with those bright flowers, scalloped edge over yellow card stock and decked out tag. Love it and some dear friend will be the lucky recipient. Your bride and groom owls are so cute and love your design using another border edge. Great hop of wonderful new products!

Really awesome cards Jeanne. I wouldn't even know where to begin, there are so many wonderful stamps and dies in this release and you have used many of them here and very nicely I might add. Just fantastic work!

Love this top card with its boldly-colored flowers from the Bold Blooms stamp and die sets. The scalloped edge Two dies are great! And the greeting from the Woodland Creatures set and the pretty bow were great finishing touches. Your Happy Owls card is just adorable, and love all the sequins and the hydrangea flower sequins.

Hi I'm Jeanne!

A Kept Life

When I left my full time career job my husband started calling me his "kept wife". The name of my blog is a play on that expression, because now I capture moments in photographs, and create in color in my "kept life". I hope you enjoy - thanks for stopping by!
